The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5077-1 advisory.

Maik Mnch and Stephen Rttger discovered that Apport incorrectly handled certain information gathering     operations. A local attacker could use this issue to gain read access to arbitrary files, possibly     containing sensitive information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
